Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray.

Unroll the pizza crust onto the prepared cookie sheet and shape it into a 13x9 inch rectangle. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until it is lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.

While the crust is baking, pierce the potato several times with a fork and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes or until tender. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then peel and cut into 1/4-inch cubes.

In a small bowl, combine the cubed potato, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Prepare the frozen broccoli in cheese sauce according to the directions on the box. Once cooked, transfer it to a small bowl to cool slightly.

In another small bowl, mix together the sour cream and ranch dressing until well blended.

Spread the sour cream and ranch mixture over the baked pizza crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded cheese followed by the crumbled bacon.
